BELLINGHAM, Wash., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eXp Realty®, the most agent-centric™ real estate brokerage on the planet and the core subsidiary of AGNT, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGNT), today announced the launch of eXp Ready™, a pay-at-close home preparation program powered by Notable. The program gives eXp agents a new, easier way to help clients fund pre-listing improvements, including staging, painting, flooring, and landscaping, with no out-of-pocket cost until the home closes.1
"In today's market, buyers are more selective and homes are sitting longer — we at eXp know that the sellers who invest in prep are the ones getting stronger offers," said Leo Pareja, CEO, eXp Realty. "Every agent has stood at a listing appointment knowing the home could sell for more, if only the seller could more easily fund the work to get it there. eXp Ready erases that 'if.' Up to $50,000 to make a home market-ready, paid back at close. That's a tool that wins listings."2
How it works
- Sellers can access up to $50,000 in flexible, unsecured funds with no restrictions on who does the work. Nothing is due until the home closes or within 12 months1, whichever comes first.
- Repayment comes directly from closing proceeds when the home sells, and sellers repay only what they actually spent, plus a one-time fee and interest at low fixed rates.
- Sellers can apply through an eXp-exclusive online portal in just a few minutes with no impact to their credit score, and can access funds the same day they're approved.
"Pay-at-close financing has been a difference-maker on my listings," said Brett Sikora, team lead of Align, the #1 eXp team by sides and #3 by volume in 2025. "Sellers who don’t have the cash on hand to prep their home upfront can now do the staging and repairs that actually move the price and they're not writing an immediate check to do it."2
The program lands as brokerages compete for listing inventory in a slower market. Notable, eXp Ready's financing partner, has facilitated more than 40,000 home sales and issued over $1 billion in home prep financing to date, with a 96% customer satisfaction score. eXp Ready extends that infrastructure to eXp's network of agents across the United States, instantly making it one of the largest deployments of pay-at-close prep financing in the industry.
Research backs the strategy: in the National Association of Realtors' 2025 Profile of Home Staging, nearly half of sellers' agents reported that staging reduced a home's time on the market, and nearly 3 in 10 attributed a 1–10% increase in offer value to staging.2 And in this market, presentation is everything: move-in ready homes rank as the #1 buyer priority. eXp Ready extends that competitive edge to every seller, regardless of their immediate financial position.
